Beauty Builders Club 2nd Edition

CA$200.00

Our goal with Beauty Builders Club is simple: bring founders together and provide real support.

For the past 10 years, much of the Canadian Cosmetic Cluster’s work has been one-on-one with founders — helping people solve problems, make decisions, navigate challenges, and keep moving forward. But we also know something else is true: founders don’t have to do everything alone, and there is enormous value in learning alongside other people who truly understand what it’s like to build a product business from the ground up.

The second edition of Beauty Builders Club launches this June in a more concentrated format designed to fit more realistically into founder life. Instead of stretching the program across several months, we’re bringing everyone together for four focused Saturday sessions running approximately 1.5 hours each.

Sessions will take place:

• Saturdays at 9 AM EST

• Saturdays at 9 AM PST

If there is enough interest for Sunday sessions, we’re happy to open additional cohorts — just let us know.

This Club is designed for founders who are doing everything at once: building products, managing cash flow, handling manufacturing delays, trying to market themselves, navigating supplier instability, staying compliant, figuring out growth, and somehow still trying to maintain a personal life in the middle of all of it.

That kind of work can be isolating.

Sometimes what you need most is not another webinar or another motivational quote on LinkedIn. Sometimes you need perspective, honest conversations, shared experiences, practical ideas, and a room full of people who genuinely understand the reality of entrepreneurship.

Every session is designed to be practical, conversational, and immediately useful. Our goal is for founders to leave with real insights, new ideas, stronger connections, and actionable solutions they can apply to their businesses right away.

Beauty Builders Club is also about building relationships — partnerships, collaborations, referrals, accountability, encouragement, and long-term community. Some of the best opportunities in business happen through conversations like these.

We’re not here to compete.

We’re here to build together.

And honestly, together we’re much stronger than alone.

Topics We Cover

SESSION 1 — Founder Reality: Burnout, Balance & Building Alone

Founder burnout, decision fatigue, balancing life and business, emotional labour, relationships, travel, protecting your energy, and the reality of entrepreneurship behind the scenes.

SESSION 2 — Cash Flow, Supplier Instability & Manufacturing Realities

Running lean, dealing with supplier delays, manufacturing realities, MOQ challenges, budgeting, scaling carefully, and surviving unstable economic conditions.

SESSION 3 — Branding on a Budget + AI Tools for Scale

Modern branding strategies, building visibility without massive budgets, founder marketing, AI tools, workflow support, automation, and using technology to scale smarter.

SESSION 4 — Growth, Export & Long-Term Strategy

Scaling intelligently, export realities, retail strategy, partnerships, innovation trends, founder resilience, and planning long-term growth in beauty, wellness, biotech, and the supply chain.

Pricing

Beauty Builders Club — Second Edition is $200 CAD + applicable taxes for the complete June cohort.

The program includes:

• 4 live founder sessions

• 1.5 hours each

• Small interactive cohorts

• Limited to 10 participants per session group

Spots are intentionally limited to keep discussions interactive, honest, and meaningful.

​Beauty Builders Club returns this June for its second edition — a focused founder discussion series designed for entrepreneurs in beauty, wellness, cosmetics, biotech, packaging, and the supply chain who want practical conversations, real support, and meaningful industry connections. Over four live Saturday sessions, we’ll discuss burnout, cash flow, manufacturing realities, branding, AI tools, growth, export, and the realities of building a business while balancing life at the same time. More than another webinar, this Club is about bringing founders together to exchange ideas, share experiences, build relationships, and feel a little less alone in the process.
